March, 1859
My lectures are over [for the season]. One of the last was
at Dedham, and I stayed at Edmund Quincy's charming, English-looking place. Did
you ever hear of an English traveller who, looking out of Mr. Ticknor's window,
pointed out as the only two Americans he had seen who looked like gentlemen,
W. Phillips and Edmund Quincy?
